Summary:
The American Dream Charter School is the only high school in the data set, serving grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 580 students. The school is part of the American Dream Charter School District, which is ranked 747 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average across most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in math. The school has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 31.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have a relatively high level of resources, as evidenced by the high per-student spending of $27,184 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1. However, the school serves a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 96.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of the student population.
